Connecting IPOD to powerbook G4 using USB1

When connecting my Ipod to powerbook I get a message telling me that this is a slow USB1 connection.
When adding songs to the Ipod from my Itunes library I get the following messages: Attempting to copt to the disc hrveylee ipod failed; an unknown error occured (-48); or Disc could not be read from or written to. Is this because of the slow USB1 connection; my ipod is 2 weeks old. Also, sometime is keeps trying to synch and it takes several times.

Yes you can get these error if the iPod is connected to a slow USB port like one on the keyboard
So I would suggest you to connect the iPod to a hight power USB port on your computer and restart the computer with the iPod connected to the computer
I would also suggest you to look in to this article which talks about this error messge " disk cannot be read from or written to "

Can a new Apple Super Drive be connected to a Powerbook Pro using a USB to Thunderbolt adaptor?

Can a new Apple Super Drive be connected to a Powerbook Pro using a USB to Thunderbolt adaptor?

Assuming you mean a Mac Book Pro (Powerbooks haven't been sold for almost 10 years, and a Thunderbolt port would only be present in the MB Pro) I have a couple of observations
I don't believe there is such a thing as a thunderbolt Super drive. SuperDrives are USB.
Converting a USB super drive to use thunderbolt interface will be an expensive ordeal. Almost as expensive as the super drive itself. And i doubt the interface would support the Superdrive anyway. i.e the Mac is not expecting an optical drive through the TB interface.
There's no benefit in doing it. Speedwise, you would still be limited to the USB speeds. And port usage wise, it would be a waste of a powerful port.
Any reason you can't use a USB port?

Connect iPod Touch to TV using Component AV cable

Hi
I am having a problem in viewing my photos or movies from my iPod Touch to our TV using Component AV cable. But first I want to ask if it is ok to connect my AV cable to a 480i component port of my TV? It splits in half when I view it on TV.
I hope you can help me
Thank you

I've recently visited Poland and italy - in both countries when i connect to a TV, video and photos work fine, but music won't play through the telly - any ideas

Connecting iPOD classic to TV using Apple Component cable

I have a 80g ipod classic and an apple component AV cable. I am trying to connect this to an TV with component video inputs. This TV is not an HDTV. I have attached the bl gr r cables in the correct position. I am getting a scrambled picture for NTSC and a split picture for PAL. based on my location I am sure that I should be using NTSC.
I brought my iPOD into a local apple store and he was able to plug it in to an HDTV there with no problem so I'm pretty sure that niether the ipod or the cable is defective.
My question is:
Is the ipod classic only compatible with an HDTV using the component cable? If so, will it work using the composite cable?

The dock is only good so you can use the remote. I don't know what the problem is with your Standard TV's with Component Inputs ... I've tried two different ones, also different brands, and they worked. I did make sure to change the iPod Video Settings to "TV Size = Standard". If it's set to Widescreen, that may account for the problem.
Otherwise, I'd suggest returning the Component cables and getting the Composite ones ... or just get the Composite ones as well. Personally, I think Apple totally screwed us all over by not just adding ONE dang Composite Video out cable to the AV Cables and allowing the Component Out to have a HD/Standard switch, much like most of the Game Console AV cables available. I don't know why they didn't do this, especially since we've got about 2 years before EVERYONE starts upgrading to HD. I guess they're just hoping to rake in some extra money by not making the Component AV Cable more capable.

Connecting iPod Touch to Speakers using Airport

Hi, I have my speakers connected to my Airport and always stream music wirelessly through my Mac Book... Is there a way (without turning on my Mac) to connect the music on my iPod Touch to play through this same system? Thank you so much!!!

In short there is no way at present to do what you suggest. I think what you are stating is that you want your iPod Touch's music streamed to your external speakers wirelessly (Like streaming out of iTunes to remote speakers hooked to an Airport Express or something like that). Unfortunately, not at this time.

Connecting ipod to mac after using windows

I had a windows xp computer that crashed and lost everything on hard drive. I was using an Ipod (serial # YM619Q49TJT) with the windows xp computer that is now dead, but my ipod still has all of audio music saved on it. I just purchased a Macbook laptop (Leopard 10.5.5 operating system). Is it possible to transfer audio files from my ipod to the new mac without losing all my files on my ipod. I found many articles that show you how to use ipod as a hard drive to transfer audio files from one hard drive to another, but the original computer is existing and in my case I don't have the original computer. I am also not sure if there will be an issue with my ipod first being formatted with a windows xp operating system and now moving the files to a Leopard Operating system?
Daphne

Daphne,
Quite alright, as for the music transfer you can still use said way as before.
Using your ipod as a disk to move music is really only good if you have the original hard drive to use. You must copy the files onto your ipod in a different manner then that of iTunes. Example You would open my computer drag the files 'including music' to your ipod. You would then plug your ipod to your mac, it will mount a little ipod icon on your desktop, you would then drag the files off of your ipod either into the correct music folder or (if you have it setup in itunes to copy to itunes music folder) right to itunes.
As for formated correctly Macs are more then capable of reading and writing to an ipod formated on Windows. However you will have a much smoother experience if you formate it to work with your mac.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

Made HDD, Battery and case upgrades to my ipod video 5th Gen and now I am told "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore."

I have a 5th Gen iPod Video that I have had many years now. It has worked faithfully until about 2 weeks ago and the HDD totally died on me.
So I decided to upgrade from a 30 to 60 gb HDD, replaced the battery for the appropriate HDD and bought a new back shell for the unit. I made incremental installations as parts arrived. First the HDD itself and the next day the battery. Both went in with no problem and I have been running them in a jerry rigged case (basically the 30gb back case has been taped together to make sure it was going to work OK. I have been taking it to work with absolutely no issues, great response and great battery life. Synching is fabulous.
Here is the issue, I hope this makes sense...
Today I received my 60 GB silver back cover and moved all of my parts over. It seems to fit fine. Headphone jack is working fine. However, now the hold button is unresponsive (which is not a big loss to me but still just so you know). I can play music and I can sync. However, if I restart the unit, or I try synching a second time, I get screen saying "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." It does not matter if I snap it shut or leave the case loose, this happens.
I have this error until I open my case up again and do nothing else. At that time, the error goes away, and my ipod is fine again. Then, the screen comes back after restarting to a normal boot. But, if I sync or restart without doing anything else, we go through the motions again until I open the case back up.
I have disconnected the battery as well as the HDD, but still have the problem. I have also disconnected the cable coming from the hold button/earphone jack to the M/B,
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue or have any suggestions.

Shouldn't you contact the vendor or person who sold the back cover? At the very least, it has a Hold switch that doesn't work.
This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
and they call it "Headphone Jack & Hold Switch"
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod+5th+Generation+%28Video%29+Headphone+Jack+%26+H old+Switch+Replacement/604
Under Relevant Parts, they seem to list separate parts for the thick and thin back cover.
On a side note, another way to fix your iPod is to use a compact flash card instead of a hard drive. This web page has details
http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-your-5th-Gen-iPod-Video-to-use-Flash-Mem or/
Then, you can use your existing thin profile back cover that works. I replaced the hard drive in my 4th gen iPod with a CF card. Currently, it is only 8GB, but with lower prices these days, I may soon upgrade it with a 64GB CF card. But it works great with the 8GB card. The iPod is noticeably lighter. There is no hard drive spin-up delay. The battery lasts longer per charge. And it is no doubt more shock-resistant.

My Iphone 4s is not being recognized by itunes at all. There is no connection, the cable i am using is not the problem because itunes will recognize my Ipad2 and Ipod thru it. I have the most current itunes and phone software I need help!

Thank you allan this worked, the final thing was updating the driver softwar for the AMDS in device manager. Thanks again.

IPOD ERROR MESSAGE: Connect to your computer. Use Itunes to restore.

Whenever I turn my ipod on after its been off for a few hours the screen displays "Connect to your computer. Use Itunes to restore" and then goes blank. I turn the ipod back on again and it appears to work normally but the battery is showing close to zero even though it has been freshly charged!
I have restored the ipod several times as it suggests but this does not get rid of the error message. Is my ipod screwed? I'm surprised there are very few posts on this topic too...
I have a 30Gb ipod video running v1.2.1

I just found this support document which explains the issue exactly.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303915
Looks like a visit to Regent St is needed.
The reason why I am surprised about the lack of posts on this topic is that I can't believe my issue is so unique. Surely out of the millions of ipod users out there this exact same issue would have been reported more frequently.

Connect iPod touch 2G to Reciever using RCA's? It cannot be this difficult?

Hello!
Need to connect iPod touch 2G to my reciever using RCA's?
But +I do not want to use the headphone jack....+ (I heard I will get higher sound quality using the bottom multi-pin connector on the bottom of the touch going to a left and right RCA's) +I have uncompressed (AIFF) files on my iPod touch and want the best sound quality possible.+
I found a couple companies that make these cables with one being the Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod and also the Nyko Stereo Link for iPod, but from reading the reviews on Amazon neither of them will work with the Touch 2g (or the iPhone for that matter).
I am also open to a simple dock of some sort that would provide me RCA outputs. Seems as if Apples universal dock would be great but it seems to have NO RCA outputs on the back of it.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be very very happy!
+I have looked high and low for a solution for this seemingly simple task.+
All I want is a connector that goes from the bottom of the touch to 2 RCA's so I can input this into
my home stereo so I can listen to my ripped CD's in high quality. A dock would also work too! I do not need charging or anything fancy....
(already have try the Tekkeon NavDock for iPod which was cool because I could watch my videos on tv from my touch but i dont need that)
+*just looking for something simple that works with the iPod Touch 2G.*+
*It cannot be this difficult?*
thanks, techo

As I stated above, the docking connector is not a "true" line-out, it does have a volume-tap so the volume control will work. It probably is somewhat cleaner than the headphone out (haven't measured it), but it is not going to be a significant difference as any improvement you get from the connector is severely limited by the DAC in the iPod.
You get no improvement in sound from using the pins on the 30 pin connector versus a 3.5 mm jack. If you buy a Universal Dock it is passing the signal from the 30 pin dock to a 3.5mm female jack, then you use the 3.5mm to RCA. Going directly from the dock connector to RCA will not improve the sound, the 3.5mm connector is not inferior in itself to the RCA connectors.
The A/V kit will get you the ability to watch your videos on your TV and output the stereo signal to your receiver. If you want even better sound for your music, get an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to transfer the video and sound:
